Airacast: Return from CSUN 
By now, you’ve likely come across numerous podcasts discussing the 40th annual CSUN Assistive Technology Conference. The Aira staff gathered to share their experiences in the exhibit hall, during sessions, and in workshops. Join Jenine Stanley as she engages in conversations with Troy Otillio, Everette Bacon, Jill Ratliff, Blake Steinecke, and Dianne Howie. Aira ASL made its debut, and the response far exceeded our expectations.
Discover more insights and learn about the other valuable takeaways from the conference.

Hello #Blind and #VisuallyImpaired community! 
I'm having trouble signing PDF documents with a digital certificate using my #screenreader (NVDA on Windows). I can do it in Adobe Reader but it's quite cumbersome and requires sighted assistance.
Does anyone have a more accessible workflow or software recommendation for signing PDFs with a digital certificate using the keyboard and a screen reader? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Could you please #Boost this so it reaches more people? Thank you in advance!

Hey, folks who use screenreaders. I often use asterisks and parentheses in my writing, because the structure forms as I write. I've just realized that may make my stuff less accessible for you.
Is there a different way for me to add short snippets of clarifying text that's more accessible?
Thanks!

just for fun I thought I'd ask my fellow #blind, #deafblind, 'and #visuallyimpaired people what #books you all are #reading currently, and what format, audio, #braille, or print. @mastoblind
I'm reading North Queen by Nicola Tyche on my kindle with #voiceview, and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire on my braille display.

I am thoroughly enjoying the #AtkinsonHyperlegible font as a default across my #XFCE desktop. I'm not #visuallyImpaired, but using a font that's designed to be very legible at any size with no ambiguities (like l and I or O and 0 looking too similar) is somehow very pleasant.
#OpenStreetMap, a global mapping project that has grown into a diverse ecosystem of applications, all of which rely on foundational @osm data to varying degrees.
One example is #WalkersGuide, an initiative aimed at creating a free and accessible world #map by providing navigational aid designed primarily for #blind and #VisuallyImpaired pedestrians.
It calculates routes and displays nearby POIs, enhancing the user's mobility and awareness of their surroundings.
It's always fun when people come and show us what they do with their Boxes.
Yesterday Dr Alex Ball from the Natural History Museum visited and brought his collection of pollens, insects, sand and sugar 3D prints.
He uses them with him Museum in a Box to explain microscopy and scale. 5 pence coins for scale

Macular degeneration runs in my family so this was of particular interest to me. I hope they really are coming out with a product in 2025, but even if it's another year away it could be extraordinary.
